Question Title: Resident landlord
| Question: 294 |
| I understand that a resident landlord does not need to get a court order as the tenancy is excluded from the Housing Act provisions. Can you advise me how to proceed after having given a tenant Notice to Quit who has not left the premises she occupies after the notice to quit has expired?

| Answer: |
| Basically, the resident landlord is within his rights to evict tenant without court order with the proviso that no physical force (against the person) is involved. In practice, the landlord is best advised to notify tenant of eviction day - say a week's notice. Then, if the tenant holds over, the landlord can simply change the locks and inform the tenant where he can collect his personal effects.
